Cat and Dog Arthritis and Joint Supplements

Why consider introducing anti-arthritis and joint supplements in to your pet's diet? As they get older, cats and dogs can suffer from joint stiffness and arthritis problems. The most common form of cat and dog arthritis is the degenerative arthritis, which is called osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis in dogs and cats is non-inflammatory and attacks your pets moving joints, such as the hips, neck and elbows, leading to joint stiffness, joint pain and can limit your pet’s movement, which can get worse as your dog or cat ages.

Joint Pain and Arthritis Remedies

Joint problems often occur in overweight pets, so ensuring that you dog, cat or any pet for that matter, eat a healthy diet and do not over-eat, is the first step is lessening the likelihood of arthritis attacking your pets’ joints.

There is the option of physiotherapy, or even surgery, but taking preventative measures by regularly using joint supplements, is always a better option than waiting until there is a problem to solve.

Glucosamine Supplements for Dogs and Cats

The main component of almost every dog and cat joint or arthritis preventative supplement is Glucosamine. There are various other components such as Perna, Chrondroitin, Creatine, Fatty acids and Methylsulfonylmethane, that can be included in the supplement, but Glucosamine is key to most supplements as it promotes healthy joints in your pets, and is essential to the forming of healthy joint cartilage and synovial fluid.
